If you operate a Web site with a message board or have a blog with a large amount of daily comments, your site can benefit from also having a chat room. A chat room can allow your site’s visitors to get to know each other and is the best way of fostering a dedicated community of supporters of your site.

Creating a chat room and providing Web chat is easy thanks to the WyldRyde IRC Network. Just follow the simple instructions on the Get Chat Wizard and you’ll have a chat room set up in no time. You may select a Java or Flash based chat room or even make a chat room with just a link. You’re completely covered no matter if you have your own hosting or use Microsoft Live, MySpace, or any other free Web page that doesn’t allow you to add HTML code to your site unaltered.

If you should have any difficulties along the way you can get assistance from the friendly volunteers in WyldRyde’s help chat.

Be sure to read the FAQ article, What are the Best Practices for new channels/chats, for advice on how to get your new chat off to a successful start.

WyldRyde provides the Web chat script and the service for free (but donations are appreciated).
